Foundation Lodge is a self-catering villa in the rural French style, designed and decorated for a relaxed atmosphere.  The sitting room, with its high ceilings and plenty of glass, creates a peaceful ambience as circadian light changes throughout the day. The open-plan kitchen is well-equipped, with a gas hob and stove; the ceramic countertops give freedom to your culinary dreams. 

Enjoy your meal on the weathered Oregon pine table with its metal insignia inlays. Three air-conditioned bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms comfortably sleep six guests. The upstairs mezzanine is space for another 2 kiddies. The mezzanine opens onto an upstairs deck for a commanding view of the surroundings. Leading through large sliding doors, the living space spills onto an undercover verandah where the prevailing northeast sea breeze, the lush garden and the distant roar of breakers is sure to lull you into that idyllic summer-forever feeling. The verandah with its heavy wrought iron table is predictably the favourite spot for a meal with the family, or just sitting under the trees while enjoying a good book. 

Breathe deep, stretch out, and relax in the established garden. This is the kind of place where love and laughter are woven into the fibre that holiday dreams are made of. 

Sodwana Bay is known for its underwater paradise - dive it or snorkel in the shallows. It is also considered South Africa’s premier game fishing destination. Go turtle or whale watching (seasonal). 

Visit no less than five premier public game reserves within an eighty-kilometre radius (not to mention the more than 30 private game farms and reserves in the area). Explore the uncharged wilderness around South Africa’s biggest natural freshwater lake that is Lake Sibaya. The varied habitats around the area make it a hotspot for birdwatchers. 

Up for a thrill? Try out the microlight flips, go on a quad bike adventure or paddle in the Muzi pans. Why not try out the stretch of 80 km dune forest in your 4x4, with its secluded beaches dotted along the coast all the way up to Kosi Bay or hop 5km across the Mozambican border for a day with a difference in Pont do Oura. 

You will return again and again, and again…
